The daughter of the first wife grew up in the countryside and was extremely powerful

Since there was a distinguished guest at home today, Bai Li and Qiu Tang did not dare to be negligent in the slightest. They both swiftly helped Gu Fanchu to dress and wash.

They moved skillfully and quickly, and got everything ready in no time.

Gu Fanchu was wearing a simple and elegant light blue long dress. She had simply combed her hair into an exquisite bun and inserted two emerald green, transparent, warm and flawless jade hairpins into her hair, which made her look even more beautiful and charming.

Then, she took light steps and slowly walked out of the exceptionally cool and pleasant room.

Even though we deliberately chose to walk in the shade of the corridor, the summer heat still hit us like a tide, making it difficult to resist.

Not long after, Gu Fanchu finally arrived at the front hall. Before he even entered the door, he heard a familiar and hearty laughter coming from inside the house.

It turned out that the laughter came from the old lady of the Gu family.

Ever since she took the medicine prescribed by Gu Fanchu and was carefully treated, the old lady's health condition has been getting better day by day. The chest tightness and shortness of breath that used to bother her have long disappeared, and she looks more radiant and energetic.

Because of this, the old lady loves her granddaughter Gu Fanchu even more and treats her like the apple of her eye.

At this time, Mrs. Zhang, who was sitting beside her, said with a smile on her face:

"Madam, you are so lucky! To have a younger generation as smart and capable as Princess Lingyu is truly enviable!"

After saying this, Mrs. Zhang couldn't help but gently stroke the pearl and jade hair accessories on her head. She had been in a good mood recently because of some happy events, and she seemed to have become several years younger.

Wang stood aside and echoed with a smile:

"Oh, Madam Zhang, you are so kind! Our Chu'er is still young, so it's inevitable that he will behave inappropriately in some way. If he offends you in the future, I hope you will be magnanimous and bear with me."

Although in the eyes of both mother and daughter, Gu Fanchu is naturally the best and unmatched, he still needs to be humble.

Just then, Gu Fanchu walked into the room with light steps.

Due to the urgency of the situation, she didn't even have time to greet everyone before Madam Zhang impatiently stepped forward, smiling and enthusiastically grasping her fair, delicate little hand. She was extremely excited, her eyes instantly reddened, tears welling up in them.

"Princess Lingyu, I really don't know how to thank you. Thank you... Thank you..."

Perhaps because I was too excited, I was speechless for a moment and didn't know where to start.

Seeing this, the old lady and Wang couldn't help but think secretly in their hearts. After exchanging glances, they had actually guessed some clues in their hearts.

And at this moment, seeing this scene in front of me, my heart is even more certain.

Gu Fanchu quickly comforted her softly:

"Mrs. Zhang, please don't be so polite. You treat me so well that I feel a little uneasy. Come on, let's sit down and talk slowly."

As she spoke, she carefully helped Mrs. Zhang to a chair nearby and gently helped her sit on it.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu Fanchu quickly grabbed Mrs. Zhang's wrist, held his breath and began to take her pulse.

Just as she expected, Mrs. Zhang's pulse was clearly a sign of pregnancy!

"Mrs. Zhang, there's really no need to be so formal. Just call me Chu'er."

After saying that, Gu Fanchu thought to himself: I am really lucky!

But I think some hard work may be required in the future.

Mrs. Zhang nodded slightly and replied:

"Okay, okay, Chu'er... To be honest, I've been feeling a bit under the weather these past few days, so my husband quickly called a doctor for me. Who would have thought... who would have thought that the examination would yield such a surprising result..."

At this point, Mrs. Zhang became excited again, and continued with a slightly trembling voice:

"The result was that I was diagnosed to be pregnant!"

When this exact news reached everyone's ears, even the old lady beside her couldn't help but show a look of joy and seemed quite excited.

It turned out that Chu'er had helped Concubine Xi to regulate her body before. At that time, everyone thought that Concubine Xi was able to conceive successfully only after she stopped using those harmful substances.

However, facing Mrs. Zhang's situation this time, everyone did not have high expectations. After all, the two situations were completely different.

Upon hearing this news, Gu Fanchu's face showed a sincere and joyful smile. She hurriedly stepped forward, held Madam Zhang's hand, and whispered to comfort her:

"Oh my, this is such great joy! Madam Zhang, don't worry. Everything needs to be done step by step, step by step. The most important thing right now is to take good care of your body. Only then can we ensure the healthy growth of the fetus in your belly."

The old lady beside her nodded repeatedly and said in response:

"Yes, yes, this is indeed a great joy! Madam Zhang, you must take good care of yourself. Pregnancy is no small matter. From now on, you must be careful and cautious in everything you do."

Women's lives are nothing more than going through important stages such as getting married and having children, and then gradually aging.

Since Mrs. Zhang and Mr. Zhang got married, they have been looking forward to having children of their own.

So many years have passed, and now I finally get what I wanted. It’s really not easy!

Moreover, everyone in the capital city saw their family's situation.

There were many people who secretly talked about it behind Mrs. Zhang's back and ridiculed her for being unable to have children.

Fortunately, after so many years, Mr. Zhang has always been deeply in love with her and has never left her. This friendship is truly touching.

"Yes... Originally, my husband had agreed to come with me to thank Chu'er, but the emperor suddenly summoned him, so I had no choice but to come alone. Chu'er... you are such a great benefactor to me!"

As Mrs. Zhang spoke, her eyes became red with excitement and her voice trembled slightly.

When she found out that she was pregnant, all the grievances and pains that had been pent up in Mrs. Zhang's heart for many years burst out like a flood that could no longer be suppressed.

Over the years, others have always secretly ridiculed her as an old hen that can't lay eggs. Some even urged her to take a concubine for her husband so that she could hand over the position of the main wife... All kinds of cold words and attacks made it difficult for her to cope.

After so many years, she felt like she really couldn't hold on any longer.
